Mary

I just want to take this moment to tell you about a friend of mine called mary.
mary is an amazing person. i met here just over two years ago at the summer camp i go to called dalesdown.
she wasn't a christian then, and it was my first year as a junior leader. i knew her best friend becki from the year before as we became good friends.
during that week mary had many questions about christianity and what its about and all sorts of things, and being one of the younger leaders, she often came to me. in this way i got to know her really well that week and by the end of the week mary had asked jesus into her life.
to be able to be a part of someones journey like that was incredible for me and i have never felt that close to God before.
over the following months mary continued to have questions, so we would often stay up late at night chatting on msn about what she wanted answering and just looking deeper into christianity, which helped for me as well as her.
Mary came back to camp in 2007 and it was incredible. she had grown so much in christ that i was taken back. it really was amazing.
as soon as mary heard that kerry had ended the relationship, she was there, on msn, ready to chat about anything. we organised a time that i can go visit and im really excited.
i just wanted to write this as a positive post after a few negative ones i have put, because throughout this past week, when things have been so so difficult, mary has been there to talk to, and i wanted to write this as a thankyou.
